Unless there is a reason to do otherwise, I suggest that you use the new version of CAPTURE. We had the identical problem. Switching to the new version solved our problems.
We have a PRINTIT verb which closes the current print job and reinitializes the capture queue with the user's default printer control string (we have TI=0 so that the buffered control strings are retained until overtly printed (Using PRINTIT) or until the user leaves AREV.)
The command string ends up looking something like SUSPEND EXIT CAPTURE L1 S=sname Q=qname NB NFF TI=0 Since we have the @ROLLOUT pointed to a C: drive directory, the SUSPEND process is very quick.
(Using SUSPEND recognizes that CAPTURE for Novell versions ]3.11 are typically too large to coexist with AREV (i.e using PC EXIT CAPTURE etc.))
In any case, this transition seems to have eliminated our "QUEUE access lost problems". A benefit is that the newer versions of capture support LPT4+.
Hope this helps…
